ioan eugen stan commented on MAILBOX-44:
----------------------------------------
I installed James 3.0m2 on localhost. Installation was easy, I just had to
disable exim so james could bind to port 25. I succesfully sent an email and
configured Icedove (Mozilla Thunderbird to get the mail by IMAP).
I also succesfully built james (trunk) on my machine but I had to disable the
test building because maven complained about missing plug-ins on tests.
Last, I had a look on James mailbox API. Didn't know where to start, but got
it: it's big.
My first try was to find the mailbox dependency in James Server but I couldn't
find it. Luckily I had just read about Dependency Injection
(http://martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html) and spring. James is using
dependency injection fitting in the right mailbox API at runtime, based on
config files. Right?
> [gsoc2011] Design and implement a distributed mailbox using Hadoop

> Key: MAILBOX-44
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILBOX-44
> Project: James Mailbox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Eric Charles
> Assignee: Norman Maurer
> Labels: gsoc2011
>
> Context: The mailbox subproject (http://james.apache.org/mailbox/) supports
> maildir, SQL database (via JPA) and Java Content Repository (JCR) as
> technology for mail storage. This flexibility is achieved thanks to a API
> design that abstracts mail storage from the mail protocols.
> Task: We need to implement mailbox storage as a distributed system on top of
> Hadoop HDFS. The James mailbox API will be used. A first step is to design
> how to interact with Hadoop (native api, gora incubator at apache,...) and
> deal with specific performance questions related to mail loading/parsing in a
> distributed system (use map/reduce or not, use existing local lucene indexes
> for search,...). The second step is to implement the HDFS mailbox (maildir
> mailbox is similar because is stores mails as a file and can be an
> inspiration). A single James server will still be deployed because we don't
> have any distributed UID generation.
> Mentor: eric at apache dot org
> Complexity: medium
